This is one of my FAVORITE videos–Santo Rico is amazing. I had the pleasure of taking a class with them in NY in August, and remain in total awe of the skill of these dancers. The video is of one of their rehearsals, and we see not only some of the fastest spins out there, but also some great body movement. Enjoy!!!
[Updated] Here is the song for those interested: Clasiqueando con Ruben by Afro Cuban All Star
Of...
Damn! That is one freakin’ awesome routine. The song name is Clasiqueando Con Rubén by Afro Cuban All Stars (for those who are wondering).
That’s our favorite tech rehearsal of all time! (not saying that only because we taped it). I actually liked the rehearsal better than the performance, because Santo Rico can fool around a bit more. At almost 7 minutes, the routine still captivates everybody watching (some of NY [Yamulee, Karisma], NJ, Philly, and DC’s best dancers were waiting there turn too). This was the 2006 Salsa Dura Festival outside Philly.
Hello All,
I too love Santo Rico, oh heck and a few others out there: Massacote, Fogarte, Tropical Gem, Karisma, and the list goes on and on.
Santo Rico spins are out of control. LOL. (meaning that in a good way)
But just to let everyone know, Santo Rico Dance Company will be doing a full workshop weekend in San Diego December 2008. The plan is to party with Santo Rico Friday night, Saturday during the day workshops, Saturday evening Santo Rico performance and Sunday full day of worshops…
Sakara Dance Company will be updating everyone soon for pricing, date, location, in addition to a special “limited early bird purchase price”.
Can’t wait to have our friends come hang out with us.
Ciao,
Lesley
